    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended December 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, as amended by Form 10-K/A filed October 29, 2004.

    Effective July 1, 2004, the Company changed its fiscal report period to end on the last day of the fiscal quarter. The quarter end dates for periods ending December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 were December 31, 2004 and December 26, 2003 respectively.

3.   STOCK OPTIONS

    The Company has adopted the intrinsic value method of accounting for employee stock options as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation” (SFAS No. 123) and discloses the pro forma effect on net loss and loss per share as if the fair value based method had been applied. For equity instruments, including stock options, issued to non-employees, the fair value of the equity instruments or the fair value of the consideration received, whichever is more readily determinable is used to determine the value of services or goods received and the corresponding charge to operations.

    The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provision of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation.

    As required by SFAS No. 123, the Company provides the following disclosure of estimated values for these awards. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the first half of 2005 and the first half of 2004 was estimated to be from $4.40 to $4.50 for fiscal 2005, and $2.66 for fiscal 2004.

Table of Contents

    The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for the first half of fiscal 2005 and the first half of fiscal 2004, respectively: risk free interest rates of 3.01% and from 1.91% to 2.93%, expected lives of 2 years for the first half of fiscal 2005 and the first half of fiscal 2004; volatility of 36.84% and 41.41% and no assumed dividends.

4.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

    The Company adopted SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share (“EPS”). Basic Earnings per Share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during a period. In computing diluted EPS, the average price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from exercise of stock options and warrants.

    Stock options to purchase 381,000 shares at prices ranging from $2.25 to $6.00 per share were outstanding during the six months ended December 31, 2004. The following options were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

                           
Type     Shares   Price     Expiration  
Options  
20,000
  $ 5.63     September 18, 2005
Options  
32,000
  $ 5.37     July 10, 2005
Options  
47,000
  $ 6.00     March 27, 2005

    Stock options to purchase 388,500 shares at prices ranging from $2.25 to $6.00 per share were outstanding during the six months ending December 31, 2003. 128,000 options were excluded in the computation of diluted EPS because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares and therefore were anti-dilutive.

    The following table is a reconciliation of the weighted average shares used in the computation of basic and diluted EPS for the years presented herein:

                                 
    Six Months Ended     Three Months Ended  
    Dec. 31,     Dec. 31,     Dec. 31,     Dec. 31,

    2,987       2,930       2,966       2,985  
 
                       

5.   ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

    Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. We sell our products and services to manufacturers in the semiconductor industry. We perform continuing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and although we generally do not require collateral, letters of credit may be required from our customers in certain circumstances.

    Senior management reviews accounts receivable on a monthly basis to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. We include any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible in our allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. Based on the information available to us, we believe our allowance for doubtful accounts for the six months ended December 31, 2004 is adequate. However, actual write-offs might exceed the recorded allowance.
